New Sight Words Say to the child: Sight words are words that we use a lot and they might not follow common sound rules. You will be able to sound out some of these words. Remember when you see a number 2 above the letter it tells you which sound the letter is making. Sly Y is very tricky. Sly Y pretends to be a vowel.

5. History- From Stories of Colonial Children) Read the following passage aloud to your child

and have them retell the story using their own words.

TWO BABIES OF LONG AGO. Those two little baby boys! They were very, very welcome; yes, indeed. Pray do not think they were not. It was only that the cabin of the odd little vessel, the Mayflower, was so dark and cold and crowded.

There was not very much room; there were no pretty little cradles, with soft white blankets ; nor were there any dainty little baskets, with tiny combs and brushes, and puffs and powders, all ready for the babies' use.

But after all, what did it matter? There were the loving mother arms, which are better than cradles, if a baby can't have both ; and there were the proud and happy papas, each one, of course, thinking his baby whole worlds sweeter than any other baby ever born.

And then the aunts and the uncles those two babies had! Every man and woman on board the vessel declared themselves aunt and uncle to these two wonderful new babies; and so anxious were they all to help take care of the little fellows and hold them on their laps, that even had they had the cradles and soft blankets, the babies would have had little time to use them.

How the sweet-faced, brown-eyed Priscilla loved to sit whole hours, crooning softly the quaint old hymn tunes - it was the fashion in those days to sing - looking down into the little baby faces all the while.

There was the bright-faced, gay-hearted Mary Chilton. She would trot the babies on her knee, pouring all the while such bright, funny stories into their baby ears, that young as they were, they would laugh back at her - at least, so the aunts and uncles used to say.

"What shall we name these babies?" asked the fathers and the mothers and the aunts and the uncles.

"Name them James," suggested one.

"What!"cried the two fathers. "Name our babies James! Have you forgotten that James is the name of the king of England? And have you forgotten that we are escaping from the injustice of that king towards us, and the cruelty of the English people?

"Have you forgotten that this very ship was built to bring us across this great ocean to the New World, that we may be as far ©2021 Classical School Solutions

from that king and his law as we can be? Have you forgotten that it is he that has driven us from dear old England, to seek freedom for ourselves in this new country, that we have never seen?"

“No! No!" cried all the aunts and uncles. "Certainly the babies cannot be named after the English king."

"But the babies must be named," said one, soberly.

"Truly they must," said another. “But what shall it be?”asked another. At last, one day it came into the heads of the fathers to give their babies names that should forever keep in mind the fact of their birth upon the ocean while their parents were wandering about, driven hither and thither by the wind and tide, in search of a new home.

"I have been thinking," said Goodman Hopkins, "that since my little son was born out in mid ocean, I should like to name him Ocean. Still, it sounds rather odd as a name for a child."

"And I," said Goodman White, "since my little son was born almost in Peregrine White’s cradle, made in 1620 and brought by his parents William and Susanna on the Mayflower. It is in the very harbor, the Plymouth Hall Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts

and so near at the close of our long wanderings, I should like to name him Wandering; still, as you say, it is a very strange name for a child."

"I think I can help you," said the minister, who had come with his little flock across the great, wide sea. "In the Latin I have learned, there are words that mean Ocean and Wandering, which will perhaps strike more pleasantly upon your ear. Those words are Oceanus and Peregrine."

"Peregrine; Peregrine; Peregrine;" said Goodman White, saying the word over and over, that he might grow used to the sound of it.

"Oceanus; Oceanus; Oceanus;” echoed Goodman Hopkins.

"Peregrine White," "Oceanus Hopkins," murmured the mothers, the aunts and the uncles. The names were a little unusual; but these people, as you will learn by and by, were themselves unusual.

The names were rather heavy for little babies; but “pet names” were not the fashion two hundred years ago; and as to obey the minister, even in his slightest wish, was the fashion, it was settled at

What the Sun Told Jim and Father got up very early one morning.

They were going fishing.

Father looked out the window.

“The sun is coming up,” he said.

“We must hurry, Jim. Early in the morning is a good time to fish.”

They took a basket of lunch and got into the car.

“Where are we going to fish today?” asked Jim. “In Blue Lake,” said Father.

“Blue Lake is east of here. Do you know which direction is east?”

“Yes,” said Jim. “The sun comes up in the east.

It is in the east now.

So if we go toward the sun, we will come to the lake.”

“That is right,” said Father.

They started toward the sun and kept on going east until they came to the lake.

Then they began to fish.

Jim and Father caught many fish, and while they were fishing, the sun was climbing high overhead. ©2021 Classical School Solutions

By and by Father said, “It is time to eat lunch.

It is noon.”

“How do you know it is noon?” asked Jim. “I did not see you look at your watch.”

“The sun tells me,” said Father.

“When the sun is high overhead, it is noon and time to eat lunch.”

Jim laughed and said, “I know it is noon because I am hungry.”

After lunch they caught more fish.

At last Father said, “We must go home. The sun is going down.”

“What direction should we go to get back home?” asked Jim. “We came east to get to the lake,” said Father. “So we should go west to get back home.”

“The sun goes down in the west,” said Jim. “If we go toward the sun, we will be going toward home.

Let’s hurry, or we won’t get there in time to eat our fish for supper.”

The Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor (1882) by William Halsall

THE FIRST WASHING DAY. What was the very first thing, do you think, the Pilgrim forefathers and foremothers of ours did when they reached the shores of this continent?

You see, the Mayflower had drifted into Massachusetts Bay, and there it lay at anchor just outside a little sheltered cove. The Pilgrims, some of them, had gone ashore to learn whether or not this was a suitable place for landing. It was a Monday morning. Nobody has ever told us; but it seems there came over the hearts of the good housekeeper women of the little band, the old-fashioned desire to "tidy up."

"What a fine place to do our washing, there in that little cove," said one good woman, looking longingly out across the water towards the shore.

“Yes, yes!”cried all the women. "Not a proper washing-day have we had in all these long weeks." ©2021 Classical School Solutions

Kindergarten, Sample

23

"And there are Baby Peregrine's dresses!" said Baby Peregrine's mother.

"And Oceanus's blanket!" said Baby Oceanus's mother.

"We will take them all with us," laughed the other good women, who, having no babies, were free to wash to their heart's content.

"You are kind to do this for our babies," said the two mothers. "It seems almost wrong that we should not do it ourselves.”

"But the babies belong to us all," laughed Mary Chilton. “We are all aunts to the babies you know."

Well, to make a long story short, what do you suppose these thrifty women did? They would rather have died than not to have been clean— these Pilgrims.

So the "washing " was gotten together, the women were rowed to the shore, and there in the cold, salty water of the bay, this Monday morning in the month of November 1620, these foremothers of our

The Pilgrims’ first washing-day

nation washed and scrubbed in good English fashion. And the forefathers helped too. They built fires; they heated the water ; and they helped to hang the clothes upon the trees and spread them out upon the snow.

It was not the way of these people to talk, or to laugh very much; but, in their own quiet way, we have no doubt that they had a most happy time of it.

It is very good to be clean," said one, with a sigh of contentment, when the clothes were all washed and dried.

"Cleanliness is akin to godliness," said another soberly, looking with satisfaction upon the great heap of fresh clean clothes, as they rowed back in their boat to the Mayflower.

Do you think little boys, little girls, that that washing day isn’t history? Do you think history is all battles ? O, no ; that washingday is the very best of history. And why? Listen: because it shows the spirit of the time; and that is history always.
